ou'll report to the Financial Controller, work closely with the FD and operational leaders, and spend time on site to understand what actually happens beyond the numbers. It suits a management accountant ready to step out of month-end as much as an existing analyst or business partner.

What will the Senior Commercial Finance Analyst role involve?

• Produce commercial and financial reporting by site and revenue stream, highlighting trends, risks and opportunities across occupancy, pricing, yield, margin and cost.
• Own the budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning process, testing assumptions with site and department heads.
• Business partner operations, infrastructure, property and central teams, providing insight and challenge.
• Build scenario, pricing and margin analysis to support commercial decisions.
• Create and run a weekly/monthly performance pack for the board and senior leadership team.
• Manage the CAPEX forecast tracker, covering phasing, approvals and cash flow, and monitor project spend against budget.
• Build CAPEX business cases with payback analysis, sensitivities and recommendations, and report on service charge recovery against maintenance projects.
• Lead the set-up of BI dashboards and drive improvement across finance reporting and processes.

Suitable Candidate for the Senior Commercial Finance Analyst vacancy:

• Qualified, part-qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) or qualified by experience - the business is open on this and will prioritise commercial ability and systems skills.
• Background in management accounting, FP&A, commercial finance or business partnering. Management accountants who've done the analysis and want out of month-end are as relevant as existing analysts and business partners.
• Multi-site, leisure, hospitality, property or asset-based experience is useful but not essential.
• Advanced Excel. Power BI or similar is a strong advantage; the appetite to build it is essential.
• Comfortable explaining numbers to non-finance people and confident enough to challenge senior stakeholders.
• Proactive, curious about what's behind the numbers, and able to manage competing priorities at pace.
